Summer in Clinique

Summer is here and so are the fun summer beauty trends! Bright lips, bold shadows, quirky eyeliners are all such a rage this summer! A simple way of adding some colour to your everyday make up is by switching up that boring black kohl with a emerald or khaki colour liner! Both these colours work wonders with brown eyes. Navy blue or purple are also some complimentary alternatives. Another way to add colour is to swipe on that beautiful coral lipstick or rock your favourite red pout! Make sure to keep the rest of your make up subtle and let your lips enjoy it's moment of glory. I avoid using a full coverage foundation during this time of the year. A BB cream is the perfect alternative!
Skincare is also very important. Make sure to use a SPF every single day as the sun is way more harsh. Using a sunscreen will not only protect your skin from getting tanned but it also prevents premature ageing, wrinkles, etc. Along with this use a good moisturizer. A lot of people tend to skip the moisturizer during summer because they don't think it's necessary as their skin in not feeling as dry as it would in winter! Don't fall into that pit. It's extremely important to moisturize your skin throughout the year!

5 minutes with Nivea

If you follow me on Twitter, you probably were wondering what all that #just5mins chaos was! Well, it was all about the new Nivea Total Face Cleanup! Now, we all tend to hide behind this 5 minutes excuse be it because of a meeting we're late for, a report we had to finish or even for getting ready in the morning after waking up just 5 minutes late! But Nivea's new product strives to reinforce the just 5 minutes phenomena.

It claims to work as a facewash, scrub, pack, oil remover and a spot reducer, all in one within 5 minutes. Now this could be too much for us to believe but the effervescent Parineeti Chopra, who launched the product & has been using it for over 4 months now, claims it's all true. To support her argument, she also confessed that she is a lazy girl, so anything that promises to do more in less time is a blessing in disguise!

As for me, I've been using the product for a week & I have no complaints so far. I'll put up a review once I've used it for a bit until then, you can order your own FREE Total Face Cleanup sample and try out the product so that you could decide for yourself!

Once you've signed up for the sample, you can also participate in the on going contest by submitting your '5 minutes to beauty story' and stand the chance to win an evening with the gorgeous Parineeti Chopra! Don't wait, go enter, it'll take just 5 minutes!

Pink lips for summer

Customized Suede loafers from Sole'D Shoes

It's been a long month and all of these things have either made my life easier or nicer and hence the tag! I received the Quirkbox planner back in March and I swear to god, life has gotten busier since that day. Maybe it's a lucky charm? Who knows. Talking about lucky charms, at Anna Sui's new perfume launch, the host insisted that this perfume is meant to bring your dreams come true. Sure, nice try. But keeping that lure point aside, I've genuinely been enjoying the lovely floral scent which works perfectly for this time of the year!

Lip products have always been of keen interest to me, as far as make up goes. A pink pout, be it a soft pink pout for the day or that bright fuchsia for the night are perfect for summer. Another colour that I have been loving is Tangerine! I was never into Tangerine until last year, when the colour took the fashion world by storm. And now in 2013, I'm still hooked. These super comfortable suede loafers by Sole'D Shoes can be customized into a ton of colours but when I was asked to pick a colour, guess what I chose!
